An article has been published by comrades from Socialistisk Revolution, that stresses in the face of the upcoming plebiscite, where the government wants to legitimize its decision to remove one of the “special exemption”, that were part of a compromise called the “Edinburgh Agreement”, when Denmark ratified the Maastricht Treaty, a compromise also made due to protest from the masses regarding the EU. The “special exemption” the government want to remove, is the exemption from the EU common military actions, as the government want to be more active in foreign military intervention, in collusion with other imperialists in the EU. The article from Socialistisk Revolution stresses, that the plebiscite itself is not so important, since it does not change anything fundamentally about Danish imperialism, but that the focus should be on condemning Danish imperialism and in particular the current militarization and increase of military budget, including condemning the participation of Denmark in the EU and NATO, exemption or not.

Belgium was paralysed by a nationwide general strike in the public sector on Tuesday 31 May. The unions had called the strike to protest against the enormously rising cost of living. The demands were thus for more staff, higher pensions, more investment in the public sector, help to cope with inflation, less workload and, above all, better pay.

So this is what defence looks like.

To thunderous applause from the members of the German Bundestag, Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced on 27 February the special fund of 100 billion euros with which the Bundeswehr is to be upgraded. The much-mentioned so-called "turn of the times" was what would make this special fund necessary and Russia's war against Ukraine would be used as a pretext. Scholz and consorts kept talking about having to defend democracy. Now, in joint negotiations with the CDU, the government has decided to divide up the special assets. But what is planned has little to do with defence.
